[kepler-users] reading ascii as array

[Matthew Jones]

Yes, just change around the workflow to extract the parts of the arrays 
that you want to pass on to other actors.  If you search for array 
you'll see all of the array manipulation actors.

Making sure your types are cast correctly can at times be difficult, but 
often works out if the system can determine how to do the type cast 
itself.  If not, you'll need to force the conversion first.
